Rekenen in de zorg voor niveau 3–4
by A. Driessens D. Brouwer-van HulstRekenen in de zorg levert een bijdrage aan de rekenkundige vaardigheden van verpleegkundigen en verzorgenden. Het bevat een algemeen overzicht van basisberekeningen, zoals het schattend rekenen Ook het kunnen lezen van getallen in exponenten, die soms op uitslagenformulieren voorkomen, wordt in het boek behandeld. Een belangrijk deel van dit boek is het hoofdstuk 'Beroepsspecifiek rekenen'. Het omvat vooral de berekeningen die ten grondslag liggen aan het werken met oplossingen en verdunningen die voorkomen bij infusen en injecties. Ook het werken met gassen (met name zuurstof) komt in dit boek aan bod. Rekenen in de zorg nodigt uit tot zelfwerkzaamheid. Alle antwoorden op de vraagstukken staan achteraan in het boek. Het antwoord op de vragen is dan ook niet de sleutel. De weg er naar toe wél. 'Trucjes' zijn zoveel mogelijk achterwege gelaten. Het gaat tenslotte om het helder bedenken van de oplossing van de vraagstukken. Dit rekenboek is bestemd voor mbo-studenten verpleegkunde en verzorgenden.
Forgotten Frontier: A History Of Wyoming Coal Mining
by A. Dudley GardnerThis work reflects part of the history of Wyoming coal mining. Much more needs to be written. To those that have produced written histories, historical overviews, and manuscripts we cited here, we extend thanks. To the archaeologists and historians who are studying Wyoming's past and attempting to preserve its lasting legacy, we applaud your efforts. The flight of time is not complete, but the history that has passed shows coal miners will be a part of the future. To those that are attempting to preserve the mining history of Wyoming and the West, we are grateful. And to men such as Steven Creasman and Gary Beach, who have the courage to dream and the willingness to persevere in attempting to save America's past, thank you. With the help of such unselfish individuals this work has been strengthened, but the responsibilities of accuracy fall to the authors alone.

Rocks and Minerals in Thin Section
by A. E. Adams W. S. MacKenzie K. H. BrodieThis concise, clear and handy–sized volume, aimed at the undergraduate level, provides an introduction to the observation, description and identifi cation in thin section, using the polarizing microscope, of samples of the commonlyoccurring rocks and minerals. Illustrated with a wealth of full colour thin section photomicrographs, and with the original images enhanced by new examples and a revised text, the book explains how to observe mineral and rock samples under the microscope. The book highlights the important diagnostic features of minerals and deals with all rock types – igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic – each with equal emphasis and authority, giving students the knowledge and confi dence to begin to identify specimens for themselves. While intended for students in geology, geography, civil engineering and materials science, the book stands on its own as a beautiful collection of photomicrographs and a permanent source of reference and fascination for all those interested in the nature and science of the world of rocks and minerals.
Evidence Synthesis for Decision Making in Healthcare
by A. E. Ades Nicky J. Welton Keith R. Abrams Alexander J. Sutton Nicola J. CooperIn the evaluation of healthcare, rigorous methods of quantitative assessment are necessary to establish interventions that are both effective and cost-effective. Usually a single study will not fully address these issues and it is desirable to synthesize evidence from multiple sources. This book aims to provide a practical guide to evidence synthesis for the purpose of decision making, starting with a simple single parameter model, where all studies estimate the same quantity (pairwise meta-analysis) and progressing to more complex multi-parameter structures (including meta-regression, mixed treatment comparisons, Markov models of disease progression, and epidemiology models). A comprehensive, coherent framework is adopted and estimated using Bayesian methods.Key features:A coherent approach to evidence synthesis from multiple sources.Focus is given to Bayesian methods for evidence synthesis that can be integrated within cost-effectiveness analyses in a probabilistic framework using Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation.Provides methods to statistically combine evidence from a range of evidence structures.Emphasizes the importance of model critique and checking for evidence consistency.Presents numerous worked examples, exercises and solutions drawn from a variety of medical disciplines throughout the book.WinBUGS code is provided for all examples. Evidence Synthesis for Decision Making in Healthcare is intended for health economists, decision modelers, statisticians and others involved in evidence synthesis, health technology assessment, and economic evaluation of health technologies.
Network Meta-Analysis for Decision-Making
by A. E. Ades Nicky J. Welton Alexander J. Sutton Sofia Dias Jeroen P. JansenA practical guide to network meta-analysis with examples and code In the evaluation of healthcare, rigorous methods of quantitative assessment are necessary to establish which interventions are effective and cost-effective. Often a single study will not provide the answers and it is desirable to synthesise evidence from multiple sources, usually randomised controlled trials. This book takes an approach to evidence synthesis that is specifically intended for decision making when there are two or more treatment alternatives being evaluated, and assumes that the purpose of every synthesis is to answer the question “for this pre-identified population of patients, which treatment is ‘best’?” A comprehensive, coherent framework for network meta-analysis (mixed treatment comparisons) is adopted and estimated using Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods implemented in the freely available software WinBUGS. Each chapter contains worked examples, exercises, solutions and code that may be adapted by readers to apply to their own analyses. This book can be used as an introduction to evidence synthesis and network meta-analysis, its key properties and policy implications. Examples and advanced methods are also presented for the more experienced reader. Methods used throughout this book can be applied consistently: model critique and checking for evidence consistency are emphasised. Methods are based on technical support documents produced for NICE Decision Support Unit, which support the NICE Methods of Technology Appraisal. Code presented is also the basis for the code used by the ISPOR Task Force on Indirect Comparisons. Includes extensive carefully worked examples, with thorough explanations of how to set out data for use in WinBUGS and how to interpret the output. Network Meta-Analysis for Decision Making will be of interest to decision makers, medical statisticians, health economists, and anyone involved in Health Technology Assessment including the pharmaceutical industry.

Usami
by A. E. Arcoleo Kimberly KnightLa vita di Rhys Cole ha sempre ruotato attorno all’hockey. Era cresciuto sapendo che un giorno avrebbe giocato nella National Hockey League, ma quando il suo sogno non si realizza, sceglie la soluzione più ovvia: diventare un cronista di hockey per una rete sportiva locale. Quando scopre che la sua ragazza lo tradisce con uno sconosciuto nel suo letto, si dirige al bar in fondo alla strada per sfogarsi un po’. Dopo aver ottenuto un grande successo nel campo del giornalismo occupandosi di servizi in condizioni metereologiche estreme e aver lavorato duramente, Ashtyn Valor è diventata la conduttrice del notiziario notturno. Poiché ha raggiunto i suoi obiettivi professionali, Ashtyn è pronta a fare il passo successivo con il suo ragazzo, ma quando lui la lascia all’improvviso, Ashtyn decide di stordire il dolore andando a bere nel bar più vicino. Rhys e Ashtyn si aspettavano una serata a base di alcolici per dimenticare quella dolorosa notte di ottobre. Quello che non si aspettavano era di incontrare qualcuno che potesse proteggerli dall’oscurità dei loro cuori infranti. O che le loro storie potessero intrecciarsi pericolosamente… Quando l’ossessione diventa troppo rischiosa, Ashtyn si rifugia tra le braccia di Rhys. Ma sono davvero al sicuro? Il gioco dell’amore non smette mai di sconvolgere le vite delle persone. E il loro gioco è appena iniziato.
Printers Without Borders
by A. E. B. ColdironThis innovative study shows how printing and translation transformed English literary culture in the Renaissance. Focusing on the century after Caxton brought the press to England in 1476, Coldiron illustrates the foundational place of foreign, especially French language, materials. The book reveals unexpected foreign connections between works as different as Caxton's first printed translations, several editions of Book of the Courtier, sixteenth-century multilingual poetry, and a royal Armada broadside. Demonstrating a new way of writing literary history beyond source-influence models, the author treats the patterns and processes of translation and printing as co-transformations. This provocative book will interest scholars and advanced students of book history, translation studies, comparative literature and Renaissance literature.

Defendants in the Criminal Process (Routledge Revivals)
by A. E. Bottoms J. D. McCleanFirst published in 1976, this book examines the practical workings of the English criminal court system, focusing on the defendant’s experiences of the system and the decisions he takes as he passes through it. Indeed, the defendant in a criminal case is in a unique position to experience the whole criminal process, from the first approaches of the investigating policeman to conviction, sentence and possible appeal. Defendants in the Criminal Process is based upon the close observation of criminal cases and on interviews with defendants. The authors raise several issues and questions to be addressed by those involved in the administration of justice, whether as court administrators, judges, magistrates or lawyers. They also discuss issues of special importance for academics and others concerned with the explanation of the court process.
